No, with HiResFix the GUI is always stretched to the set resolution. Basically, the game "thinks" that the screen is still 1024x768 when it renders the GUI.
Widescreen dll, on the other hand, allows the GUI to be rendered at specific resolution (changed via menu ini file): i.e. if you were to set it to run at 1920x1080, the original game's GUI would take up the lower left 1024x768 pixels of your screen.

In short, HiResFix is best played in 4:3 aspect ratio (1024x768, 1152x864, 1280x960, 1400x1050...) to avoid GUI stretching. For a proper widescreen, you'd need both the widescreen dll and a GUI mod.
